I really like the shape of the spoiler, very distinctive and suits the back-end. I know the standard one is simple, but its simple to the point of sometimes looking like they just CBA.

For no reason whatsoever I checked the WBAC price of mine a few days after I sold it and it had gone up a grand in two weeks.

How upsetting!

I was looking at gt4 prices earlier and they are still around 70k for a 16 plate. Free motoring.

Mine has gone up a grand in the last week for some reason.

Exhaust day tomorrow as well as service and the timing belt adjustment. Will be nice to get all that done and dusted.
Cheers,

Mike.

Summer innit and I honestly think people dont like the 4 pot newer ones as much as they say they do, they dont. Coming from a souless 2 litre turbo which was loads faster its not all about speed.

That would be a total mare.

Speaking of which just changed my sidelight bulbs for the 3rd time as the shit bulbs I bought kept blowing - having invested in some proper ones I am now an expert on fitting them. While doing so the damage from when someone ran into the front of it is actually worse than I initially thought but as its all being sprayed its not a problem. Getting a spot for them to do it is the only issue as was supposed to be done last month.

Oh also noticed a bulge in a front tyre sidewall so thats 260 quids worth of ps4s booked for wednesday as we are taking it on holiday next weekend.

Bright new sidelights but canbus errors both sides even though they say they're compatible.

Which ones did you buy Mike?

The listing isn't on eBay any more - was just the eBay listing of the day for LED bulbs with "canbus error free" in the subject title. Looks like the seller is gone too.

Led bulbs are a nightmare, I’ve given up on the cheap ones as they never last and just randomly burn out diodes or start flickering.

Proper Osram ones work well but the ones I’ve used haven’t been canbus so have used extra plug in resistors.

Im glad its not just me. I just upgraded the headlight in my motorbike so thought I'd do the sidelight at the same time - which is the same as the car.

Bought these which are fine in the bike but not the car. Upgraded version apparently :lol: :roll:
